F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901.
Centlemtn : Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
m full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear begau to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temnotarily, that the bead noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affe-cted ear would he lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidenially in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-dav. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours.

A NOVELJQEPARTURE
Agricultural Course For Ru
ral District Sohools.
AS NOW TAUGHT IN GERMANY
There the Common Schools Have a
Garden Attached and Pupils are
Given Practical Instruction In Ag
riculture.
Most of the common schools In the
smaller German villages have attached
to them a small garden. Though these
gardens are generally for the use of
the teacher and his family, occasion
ally some wideawake teacher uses his
as a means of instruction. Here he
takes his pupils to show them how
plants grow from the seed to full ma
turity. The nature charts used in the
schools to teach plant and insect life
are supplemented by observation of
real plants, flowers, fruit trees, insects,
birds and bees.
Mr. C. B. Smith, of the office of ex- J
periment stations, United States de- !
partment of agriculture, has given us
the benefit of his observations at Alf- |
ter, a village of 2,000 Inhabitants, in :
the German Rhine province, between j
Bonn and Cologne. Mr. Smith, who
visited this village in 1899, gives the
following account of it: "The whole
region lying about the village is inten
sively farmed and forms practically
one vast garden. Vegetables alternate
wit horchards, with, occasional strips
of grain or forage plants, ’the scho'ol
is wSat is Tmown as a ‘people’s school.’
This is the common school of Ger
many. Only the fundamental branches
are taught In these schools, and the
whole course is completed in eight
years. Ahe Alfter common school con
tains 400 pupils and six toachers. In
this school, as in all others in this
province, two hours instruction week
ly in fruit culture, gardening aad gen
eral farming during the last two years
of the course is required. This has
been compulsory by law since 1895.
Outline suggestions for this work are
sent the principal of tiie school by
the provincial government, as follows:
First Year.
"Apr Hand May (1.) Inner structure
of plants, plant cells and tissues and
their functions. (2) Other divisions of
plants: (a) the roots, their function in
the nourishment of plants by the ab
sorption of mineral matter, s phos
phorous, potassium, sodium, Iren, chlo
rin and water; (b) the trunk. its
branches and buds, the structure of
the cambium and the occurrence of
ring growth.”
The course goes on through every
month of the year, describing plant
life in all its stages, the improvement
of the soil, the using up of plant food
and its replacement by fertilizers of
various kinds, the influence of the cli
mate on plants, fruit culture and the
management of fruit trees, the ene
mies of fruits and vegetables and how
to get rid of them.
In February and March of the next
year’s course the various minerals are
discussed. In April, May and June
garden work is discussed from the lay
ing out of plats to the utilization of
vegetables. •
In the latter part of June of the
second year’s course the pupils study
field work, plowing, harrowing and
rolling.
“In July they study the various field
crops, including clovers and grasses;
in August crop rotation and methods
of manuring.
In September and October they dis
cuss the various enemies of the differ
ent crops. In December the subject
of study is domestic animals, and in
January, February and March the
physiology of man.
The plan thus laid down is meant
to be suggestive, the teacher being al
lowed to exercise his individual judg
ment as to time and method of pre
senting the different subjects and to
make his instruction conform to the
agricultural needs of the district in
which his school is located.
Thus at this German village nearly
every owner or renter of even a small
piece of ground is an experienced gar
dner, understanding thoroughly the
value of cultivation and the money
worth of every pound of compost. The
farmer’s wife and children assist him
In his labors and the children at an
early age have a very clear under
standing of garden operations.
The school garden is intensively
farmed and made a source of revenue.
The bees are also made a subject
of special study.
It is not to be inferred that every
German neighborhood is fortunate
enough to have such a school, and the
teachers who make use of the school
garden for instruction are the excep
tion. But the success of the few
schools of this sort prove their worth.
The interesting article of Mr. C. B.
Smith was recommended for publica
tion by Mr. A. C. True, director of ex
periment stations, and its publication
was authorized by Hon. James Wilson,
United States secretary of agriculture.
In view of the fact tlprt the desira
bility of an agricultural course for the
schools in rural districts is being sc
generally discussed we thought that
some useful hints might be derived
from the account of this practical Ger
man school.
Sugar Osne.
Though some of the farmers are
nearly through plantin'* their cane
some are waiting for d-v-v-r weather.
The importance of th 1 . >p cannot
be , overestimated. There 'a an ever
increasing demand for tb best Georgia
cape sirup. Overproduction of eltheT
sugar or sirup need not be feared.
The consumption of sugar in the Unit
ed States exceeds the home supply.
Raising sugar cane costs less than
raising cotton, and to the planters of
many parts of southern Georgia there
is more money in it. When this crop
receives the attention duo it, sugar re
fineries will increase in number. As
we have said before, there is no rea
son why the sugar and sirup business
of Georgia should not at least approxi
mate that of Louisiana.
The sugar refineries at Baxley, in
Appling county, and Dupont, in Clinch,
are doing good work for their respec
tive sections. At Cairo, in Thomas
county, is a large sugar plant of the
best modern construction, where the
juices of the cane are being chemical
ly treated in the most scientific man
ner. Within a radius of 15 miles from
this town there are 2,000 acres plant
ed in sugar cane. The shipments of
sirup from Cairo amounted last year to
10,000 barrels. At Quitman, in Brooks
county, one firm sells on an average
3,600 barrels of sirup a year. The
sirup is pronounced by Professor Har
vey W. Wiley, chief of the United
States bureau of chemistry, to be of a
high trade, and the market for it ex
tends from Massachusetts to Texas.
Asa result of Professor Alley's visit
to Georgia an appropriation of sll,-
000 has been recommended by the con
gressional tomwHtee ou appropria
tions for the purpose of promoting the
development of the sugar interest in
Georgia and other states.
Credit is due to Major D. G. Purse,
president of the Savannah chamber of
comerce, who was very active lu inter
esting the United States department of
agriculture this work and who took
personal charge of Professor Wiley
dWring his trip. Professor Wiley re
ports having seen near Kinderton, on
the Mcßae plantation, atalks of sugar
cano more than 8 feet long and weigh
ing from four to six pounds each. The
United States department of agricul
ture intends making experiments to
ascertain what kind of fertilizer will
give the best results upon soils of dif
ferent sections in Georgia and other
southern states. Hence we are about
to see the realisation of the hopes
have inspired the efforts of this
department ever since our accession to
office, that in the great sugar cano In
dustry Georgia would find even a bet
ter, because a more permanent, source
of wealth than in her rapidly disap
pearing forests of pine.
